Pemetrexed and Wellbutrin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Pemetrexed (pemetrexed) and Wellbutrin (bupropion hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include cardiac arrest among females and pneumonia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Pemetrexed and Wellbutrin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 37 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
